To achieve this, the programme is open to welcoming new partners throughout its duration. Organisations from academia, industry, clinical practice, patient advocacy, and the public sector are invited to participate in the programme and contribute to its success.

Partners can engage with INNOVISION in several ways. Host organisations may offer research secondments, providing fellows with access to complementary expertise, facilities, or patient cohorts. These placements allow fellows to broaden their skills and experience different working environments, while partners benefit from the expertise and fresh perspective of highly trained postdoctoral researchers.

INNOVISION also seeks partners interested in supporting training activities. Contributions can include delivering specialist workshops, sharing case studies, or participating in panel discussions on topics such as drug development, regulatory science, entrepreneurship, and patient engagement. This ensures that fellows receive training that is informed by real-world challenges and up-to-date industry practices.

Finally, partners may choose to collaborate with INNOVISION as event sponsors. Programme events include annual symposia, training schools, and stakeholder engagement meetings. Sponsorship provides visibility within the research community, creates opportunities for networking, and demonstrates a commitment to advancing innovation in ocular health.

By becoming an INNOVISION partner, organisations help to train the next generation of leaders in vision research and to create pathways for translating discoveries into improved therapies and technologies. Interested partners are encouraged to contact the programme team to explore opportunities for collaboration that align with their strategic goals.
